One thing I have noticed here in Japan is that they have been releasing OST from anime for about as long as anime has been around. In several used goods stores, you can find records(yes, those things before iPods, CDs, Cassettes, and 8-Track tapes) for various anime from the 1980s, 1970s, and even before. Most of these anime would only be known to Japanese people who grew up with them, but a few(like Macross) are familiar.
Does anyone collect/listen to these things, or should I just leave them in the bins? |

I have a good number of anime BGMs (mainly old Nippon Sunrise mecha shows) on vinyl and cassette tapes from this era as well, but no longer have the gear to play them! I did manage to buy a good amount of LDs when DVDs were taking over from some of those used media places. There are a few titles that still have not been released on DVD, but are becoming rarer now that some of my favorite series like First Gundam, and Orange Road have recent R2 releases.

I've been trying to get my hands on a copy of the soundtrack for Kamui no Ken, but everywhere I look it's like 100+ dollars. I don't collect them really, but if I ever got my hands on a decently priced copy (which looks impossible considering how old that particular soundtrack is), I would definitely buy it.
As for other old anime soundtracks I really enjoyed Galaxy Express 999 (another Rintaro movie actually!) and the soundtrack was really good too. |

One of my friends was obsessed with the awesome Kamui soundtrack. I love the mix of the electric guitar and taiko drums. I noticed that many older Rin Taro movies tend to have non-typical anime music. Doesn't Genma Taisen use that famous old classical piece that name I can't remember at the moment as well as Keith Emerson from ELP who composed that ending song. Take the X train uses Take the A Train in it's score. X^2 used X Japan. Even more recent Metropolis uses that famous American oldie song.
